The guide comes from two decades of practice and from the lessons of building the #OpenDataEditor (ODE). By stepping back and listening, we gradually reshaped it into something more accessible and useful — and this story became central to the guide.

🙇🏽‍♀️ Today, we held the 3rd organised community gathering around #OpenDataEditor to discuss how to build #AI literacy as a collective strategy. Distinguished guest: Marek Tuszynski (@info_activism).
